Why Why Why? what could modern Hollywood give Flight Of The Navigator which isn't present in the current version?
If this is all Hollywood can come up with then no wonder people are illegally downloading movies rather than buying them.
Really, people are also downloading new films, so cant blame remakes for that. Maybe film makers cant be bothered to risk millions on original films/formats knowing they are making less money back, as people just download them!
I never understand why people get upset about remakes. Anyway most films are reboots now, have lots off new bits.
How many people do you think have not seen the original Flight of the Navigator, and tend ever to seek it out? In the millions right? so there's your market.
Surely older films do not have a appeal for everyone, and some could do with updating.
I can't remember any current remake over last 5 years having any effect on the originals, take the remake off Return to Witch Mountain, i saw the original on video, i could not care less about the remake at the cinema, i might watch it on dvd, but no harm done.
Only some peoples pride is hurt for a few months, then forgotten. Personally there is more important things to worry about than film remakes i think.
I have not seen Navigator for about 10yrs, so a new version would be great to see if its better than the original would it not?
If its worse, then you can just laugh off the remake.
Bold Remakes better than originals imo.
